Strange Florida Find

[antmike915]

Florida dig find (Hillsborough County)many, many years ago. I've never been able to put a type on this one. It's slightly crude, better worked on one side and the base doesn't appear to be ground. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Beautiful color

That is a great find colors and everything. I wonder if it got lost before they had time to grind the base? It only takes a few minutes to grind one.

I think that one is very old. I found one similar in Sarasota a couple of years ago. I'll post the pic if you want.

Is the other side flat or somewhat flat?

 

[CreekSide]

Idk if it’s correct but projectile points are saying Florida has Copena types located there now. I always thought they were just my area and north. And I’m not saying that’s what you have

My first thought was an Agate Basin. A transitional paleo.
It's a very nice point. good color, material and symmetrical.
nice relic.

Looks like they tried to remove the stack but couldn’t get it off. Probably would have been fluted.
I have a few I’ve found that nobody knows what they are for sure. And if they don’t know their response is usually oh that’s some kind of Copena. I’d rather hear them say I’m not sure.

Yes, it was flat. I don't have a pic of the other side & I gave the point to my co worker. She was finding a lot of sharks teeth on the site as well. I think it is a Simpson point. Not heat treated and very old.

Looks like a unifaced paleo blade.. they are only worked one side hence the uniface name, usually a little thinner, but still nice.

I grew up in Hillsborough County, went to Hillsborough High school.

So much great stuff has come from Hillsborough County. Son Anderson has an incredible collection of artifacts from there and surrounding counties.

I might be wrong but didn’t Son Anderson pass away recently? I met him on FB. Seemed like a great guy

 

[newnan man]

I haven't heard so I better check it out.

Yes, sadly Son passed away January 25 of this year. He was 81. His obituary is online. He had probably the best collection of Florida & Georgia artifacts anywhere.

Definitely agree, I was a member on his forum years ago. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
